Better get my cardboard Google goggles out! But when it finally came time to unveil the new crest, the federation, the national governing body for soccer, elected to largely bypass the traditional news media. Its announcement on Monday will instead be delivered directly to fans via a more immersive experience — one that involves Google Cardboard, a virtual reality promotional video and a United States Soccer Federation scarf. mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/29/business/media/us-soccers-rebranding-gets-an-assist-from-virtual-reality.html?referer=&_r=0U.S. Soccer planned to surreptitiously deliver packages containing the gifts Monday morning to the doorsteps of about 8,000 registered club supporters as well as an additional 2,000 development academy players and other soccer fans across the country. The official unveiling will be later in the day.

Its got to be nationallampoon.com/ running the show and advising. You can't make this stuff up! Good idea for a thread though, what is the next stupid/crazy/ridiculous thing US Soccer will do......

I personally like the new crest. I would have preferred the Centennial crest from 2013 as that was the perfect crest. But the new crest is much, much better than the horrible exploding soccer ball. And at least the new one has 13 stripes, just like our flag. The previous crest had 11 stripes and 3 stars, none of which have anything to do with any symbols of our country. It's not perfect but I'm just glad U.S. Soccer got rid of the other one. The other thing I noticed is the new one is like a modern version of the crest on the 1950 World Cup jersey
As for new jerseys, I've given up hope on that. The last few jerseys produced by Nike have been absolute crap. I still can't believe they produced a World Cup jersey that used ROYAL blue instead of the Navy blue that our country uses. If you know anything about U.S. history, we would never use royal blue as a color.

I did read that the women's logo will have stars -- 3 of them to signify their world cup wins

Crest is fine. Social media strategy (obvious orr packaged comments from players) seems to be more cohesive than the senior men's team.
